Impact of ESMA on copying and leverage
- Leverage when copying signals
- Signals : Ask & Say Anything & Everything About MQL5 Trading Signals
- Lot size not matching the signal provider
If the signal provider account changes to a lower leverage due to ESMA new regulations, then he/she will have to adjust trading accordingly and you will keep copying with the same ratio, since higher subscriber leverage doesn't affect copying ratio.
If your account change to a lower leverage, but the signal provider keeps a high leverage (because he/she is based in a country that is unaffected), then you will have a lower copying ratio than before.
If both signal provider account and your account change to a lower leverage, then the impact to copying process will be minimal if any.
